MY LITTLE BO PEEP.

Ny little Bo Peep is fast asleep,
And her head on my heart is lying,
/ gently rock, and the old hall clock
Strikes knell Of the day that's dying;
But what care how the hours go by,
Whether swiftly they go or creeping?
Not an hour could be but dear to me,
When my babe on my arm is sleeping.
Her little bare feet with dimples sweet,
From the folds of her gown are peeping.
And each wee toe, ike daisy in blow,
caress as she lies a-sleeping;
Her golden hair falls over the chair.
Its treasure of beauty unfolding,
l press my lips to her fnger-tips
That my hands are SO lightly holding.
Tick, took, tick, tock; you may wait old
clock,
1t was foolish what was saying;
Let your seconds stay. your mnues play,
And bid your days go a-Maying.
o, Time stand still-let me drink my HI
of content while my babe is sleeping;
AS / smooth her hair my life looks fair,
And tomorrow may be weeping.

when he only proposes to take the man
tie of Immortality from the shoulders of
one Englishman and put it on another,
he can't see why there should be
any national feeling among English
men. AT all events he thinks it ought to
be more gratifying to the English..nation
to have the authorship of the celebrated
plays attributed to the distinguished
scholar and philosopher than to the
guzzling, poaehing play-actor of whom
tradition does not record single gener-

THE BLIND TIGER.
The Wheel Device Used by Liquor
Sellers in Kansas.


Sellers in Kansas.
Topeka Letter.
In several cities in the state what is
known as the ''blind tiger" is the scheme
which is being used to sell beer and
whisky. A description of this novel
little apparatus, told by gentleman
who investigated it, is as follows:
"The other day, when 1 was out s
Western Kansas, in town of not over
500 people, asked the hotel proprietor
if there was any place where l could
obtain some beer. He pointed signifi-
cantly to little dug-out in the rear of
the hotel, and motioned me to go ahead.
81 did, and passing five or six steps I
entered room about five feet below the
surface of the earth, ten feet long by
six feet wide.
Looking around on either side of me
was the dirt wall, but gazing ahead was
a partition dividing the room. In the
center of this partition midway from
the floor to the ceiling was a revolving
cylinder divided into compartments.
Above this Wheel as it was called,
were printed the following words on a
placard:

HOW TO OBSERVE 1T.

This is Independence day.
You will not be permitted to forget it.
Even if everybody else should neglect
to remind you of it, the small boy will
give you hint.
There will be q great deal of powder
burned. bunting will be displayed in
profusion, people will be going out in
great gangs on picnic excursions, the
race grounds will be packed and the
rowing courses will be lined with peO-
pie intent on having their holiday fun.
And yet with all these evidences of
great national holiday before your eyes,
there are ten chances to one that you
will never stop to think what all this up
roar is about. You are celebrating the
Fourth because it is the fashion to do
so, without for a moment considering
what originated the fashion. 1t would
be curious to know Of.the 10000 people
in st. Paul who will celebrate Free
dom's anniversary to-day how many OF
them ever read the Declaration Of In
dependence. Their historical knOwl-
edge is sufficient probably to tell them
when the Declaration of Independence
was adopted and for what purpose, and
yet it it is safe to assert that 80 per cent.
of the people of this country never read
the document.
A amt road
WAsHINGToN's Farewell Address.
And yet within the whole range of po-
litical literature there is nothing COM
parable with these two papers. One IS
Freedoms Charter and the other is its
guide book. Still it is a lamentable fact
that neither is as familiar to the Ameri-
can people as one half of the trashy
dime novels which are published.
With this fact staring us in the face
we may well ask ourselves if patriotism
is not Oh the wane in this country, and
are we not rapidly drifting into cOndi-
tions which imperil our national life.
What are we going to do about it?
Why we propose to return to the early
custom of observing the glorious Fourth.
If a frequent recurrence to first princi-
Piles is essential to the preservation of
liberty then we shall go back to first
principles. What we want is an old
fashioned Fourth of July celebration,
such as our ancestors had when the pub
lie reading of the Declaration of indie
pendence was an indispensable part of
the nations annual jubilee. 1t was by
keeping the people familiar with the
charter of their liberties that the fires
of patriotism were kept continually
burning on the altar.
Notwithstanding the outward demon
strations in celebration of our natal in
dependence day, there is in the breasts
of all rejecting men-thOSe who are ac
cuStomed to observe the signs of the
times-a feeling of apprehension that
we may be sailing in dangerous waters.
The social disorders and labor disturb
anees are, to many minds, but so many
symptoms of unhealthy national con-
ditiOnS. There are breakers in our
course which require Skillful
navigation to steer clear of. We can
find no safer chart in this impending
national crisis than those infallible
principles which the fathers of the re-
public laid down for our guidance
Fire-crackers and sky-rockets and a
general hullabaloO cannot take the place
of the simple get grand political truths
which are embodied in the Declaration
of independence and WAsHINGTON'S
Farewell Address.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Mr.. DONNEIIY continues discussion
of the SHAKESPEAEEAN myth in the
July number of the North American
Review. He says that his work on the
cipher has been delayed by the very i'm
mensity of the story it reveals, and it
will take him year longer to work out
all the narrative there is in the first and
second ''HENRY "" But in order to
satisfy the incredulous of the truth of
the discovery he has made, Mr.. DoN-
NELLY proposes to publish part of the
story this year. What astonishes him
most of all is the fierce opposition which
the English people show to the theory
that BACON wrote the plays. He could
understand it if he were attempting TO
prove that Frenehman or German
was the real author Of the plays, but

Lake City's Advantages.

To the Editor of the GloDe.
While not wishing to detract from the
fair fame of Minnehaha, the citizens of
this town claim that their site is the
most beautiful and suitable one offered,
$1,000 bonus being given with the land,
which is better than any other offer.
The natural advantages of Lake City's
situation, as well as the beauty of it, is
too well known to need comment, and
on the whole the town is indignant that
such advantages should be SO lightly
considered. Let the commissioners re-
fleet that we have made them the best
offer in the state and give us show ac-

years old. His father had given him a
quarter to buy fre-crackers with and
told him of store where he could get
six punches for % cents. The
little fellow held the money in his hand
looking at it thoughtfully for
few moments, and then said:
'sPapa, this is not enough" 'Why isn't
it?' because I saw Swede boy to
day buy 80 cents worth of fire crackers,
and it would be an awful shame for us
American boys to be outdone by for
eigners." This patriotic argument an
Swered its purpose and the urchin's
heart was made lighter and his pocket
heavier by the contribution of another
quarter.
Can man with only one wife, and who
never had but one, be convicted of
bigamy? That is question the Su-
preme court of New York was called
upon to decide and. strange as it may
sound, decided afi11iiTTImatiyely. And the
decision was in exact accord with the
provisions of the New York divorce law
which says that person against whom
a decree of divorce has been granted,
who, during the lifetime of the plaintiff,
marries again is guilty of bigamy. The
vagary of this law was illustrated in this
way:
CHARLES ROBINSON, well known
hardware man in the metropolis, mar
ried a Miss REED. His wife obtained a
divorce from him. Subsequently she
was convinced that her former husband
was innocent Of the charges upon which
the divorce was based and they were re-
married. After the second marriage
two children were born to them. When
Mr.. ROBINSON died his wife offered to
take out letters of administration on the
estate, when his relatives resisted her
right to do so on the ground that Rob-
INSON was bigamist under the provi-
sions of the law. ref9rsdssSto. The

We might call it an exchange of inter-
national courtesies. While JAMES G..
BLAINE is over in London helping
Queen VICTORIA to jubilate, the Earl
of Aberdeen is over here in st. Paul
popping fire crackers in celebration of
the glorious Fourth. 1t was real nice of
the earl to help us celebrate the ami
versary of Liberty's birth. 1t would
have been worth several votes to Mr..
BLAINE in the next presidential cleo
ton if he had stayed at home and done
the same thing.
